Where is the energy in the products of photosynthesis?

Question

A) The bonds of a glucose molecule store chemical energy.

B)The bonds of an oxygen molecule store electric energy.

C)The oxygen has a lot of kinetic energy.

D)Glucose has a lot of mechanical energy.

Answer 1

So let's first break down the question, what are the products of photosynthesis?

- oxygen and glucose

Okay so this doesn't really narrow down the choices too much, so let's think about how living things store energy. Living things generally use energetic molecules (such as ATP) to store and transfer energy, meaning they use CHEMICAL energy.

This means we can eliminate B,C, and D, leaving us with A as the correct answer.
